Team
Tortoise | Team Turtle is a community of people who enjoy
walking and/or running, cycling, swimming, paddling, surfing or just about any
sport on land or water...
at a slower pace. We share an experience
that we are most happy and comfortable in our own
shell
as a slow and steady person always on the move. From the
classic
tale of the Tortoise and the Hare, many have come to
identify
with the tortoise
over the years. It is in this collective spirit
that we celebrate the wonder of
all tortoises and turtles and like our hard-shelled friends, are moving well in
the
long run of life.

A
variety of groups and clubs have all used
the Team Tortoise or Team Turtle monikers over the years to identify their team of
compadres. I hope
this web
site with my free graphics will inspire
others
to
take either the tortoise name in activities on land, or the turtle name for activities in or by water. So get your tortoise or sea turtle friends together, sign up for
that
event you want to do, print your t-shirts and proudly plod in organized activities of forward motion together as TEAM TORTOISE or TEAM TURTLE!

Note - The header graphic I use at the top of the site of the runners on the street caught my eye instantly. The fourth runner from the left is a dead ringer from my daughter Katie, who has jogged with me over the years with the exact silhouetted face and body and her hair tied up top for the run. We are truly DNA team tortoises and when we run together, it's like running with yourself right next to you. Love you girl.
